With almost 700 purchases and only 5-star reviews, Limitless OS is one of the most appreciated Notion templates on the market. It is so good, that people really use it for years, and they don’t run around searching for another template.
While this is awesome, it also comes with a challenge: Updating the Template!
The most frequent support question in last year was the following:
How do I add new dates to the Days database, for 2024, 2025?
So in this article, we will tackle this question.
Adding 365 new rows manually would be cruel. Even creating it in excel, then importing is a lot of hassle. But fortunately there is a great app/tool that can automatically fill your Days
database with the exact information you need.
Let’s see how you can do it.
As a first step, open DatePop app, that will help you automatically add the required days to your Days
database. As you open it, in the first page you have to do the followings:
1. Date Range: Select the date range you want Datepop to auto-populate. This can be the current year, next year, or you can even select multiple years, selecting the “Custom”
option
2. Fill database with: Here select One day per row
3. Press the “Next” button.
On the next screen you’ll need to Authorise DatePop to access your Notion account. After pressing the Authorise
button, you’ll need to select the exact database you want to be updated with the new rows.
So on this page, select your Days
database, and click “Continue”.
On the last screen you will have a couple of options. Let’s take them 1 by 1.
1. Fill dates into:
Here you should choose Title and one date property
- This means that it will fill the date property, but it will also write the date in the Title
property. This is exactly what we need.
2. Select the date property:
Here you should choose the date property of your Days
database.
3. Select a date format for the title:
As you selected that the title should also be filled, here you can choose the format how you would like the title to look like.
When you’re ready, press the “Continue” button, and let the magic happen. DatePop will automatically start creating the new rows in your database. Wait a couple of minutes until all the requested rows has been created, then you can move on.
Now that you have the new rows you wanted in your Days
database, you need to connect them to your other databases, like Month
, Quarter
, Year
.
Basically, what you need to do here, is to populate manually the relation properties that you use. DatePop creates the rows with the title and the dates, but all the other properties will remain empty.
Let’s see what you need to do, in order:
1. Create New Year in Years
database
If you added dates for 2025 for example, and you don’t have 2025 year, then create one.
2. Create New Months in Months
database
If you created a new year (2025 for example), you should create new months (Jan-Dec) for the 2025 year.
3. Create New Quarters in Quarters
database
The same process. If you have a new year, you’ll need 4 more quarters for that year.
4. Connect Quarters
and Months
to each other.
The newly created Year
, Months
and Quarters
databases each have relations between them. You should connect those together.
Months
database select 2025 for the 12 new monthsMonths
database select Q1,Q2,Q3 and Q4 (2025) respectively for the months.Quarters
database choose 2025 year for the newly created 4 quarters.5. Connect your Days database to the months database.
Start with January 1st row. Select January 2025 in the Months
relation property, then drag it down till January 31st (like in an excel), adding January to all the January days. Then repeat this for the rest of the days.
Congratulations. You’re done.
